Oh Captain, Our Captain

Since their failure to make the playoffs for the 2009-2010 season, rumours of a trade swirled around the Calgary Flames team captain Jarome Iginla. Iginla's less than stellar performance during the regular season, and the noticeable lack of passion in the way he played, sparked gossip that Calgary's local hockey hero had had enough of the Flames, and that the Flames had had enough of him.
But on May 26, the team's president and CEO Ken King made an announcement that quelched the rumours once and for all, assuring fans and media that Iginla will return next season with a Flames jersey on his back.
Iginla,who made his NHL debut at the age of 18, has played his entire career with the Calgary Flames, and has always made it clear that he has no desire to leave the team, despite recent struggles in both the regular seasons and the post-seasons.
For Flames fans, the idea of losing Iginla was heart-wrenching. In his tenure with the team, Iginla has become a larger-than-life presence for the Flames, which only increased when he lead them to the Stanley Cup finals in 2004.
Luckily, Iginla's future with the Flames has been secured and the city of Calgary can breathe easy knowing good ol' Iggy isn't going anywhere for a long time.
